SOMEONE within the “Northern Territory government” has gone on a bizarre Wikipedia editing rampage, including changing “McDonald’s” to “McBumholes”.

While this isn’t the first time a NT government-issued IP address has been used to make questionable edits to Wikipedia pages, the person or persons behind this has been particularly active today.

Their activities today alone include changing “McDonald’s” to “McBumholes”, and switching out “Hungry Jacks” to “Pee pee poo poo yee haw im very funny c*ck a doode do”.

The mystery Wikipedia contributor also replaced the phrase “Kentucky Fried Chicken” with “fat people eaat this (sic). There is poo, pee and ppuke (sic) in kfc and it taste like crap”.
